Try some other glocks, there can be quite a difference in trigger pulls due to the tolerances.

I forgot to mention that my 34 has the stock 3.5lb connector along with a lightened striker spring. Changing the striker spring made a big difference. It made the trigger mushier, but it's a lot lighter now and I figure Glock triggers are mushy anyway! I have yet to do the $0.25 trigger job so that may help as well.

My groups from 1911 (3.5 ~4.5 lbs trigger) and G19 (stock 2nd gen.) are about the same. The groups from XD45 (with factory defense trigger job) and stock Sig P220R are about the same, but not as good as the ones from 1911 and G19.
I guess I need to shoot the XD45 more

I didnt read thru the 4 pages but what I do is dry fire with snap caps. Its lets me see the front sight and where its going when I pull the trigger. Good practice for cheap..

You can also load a dummy round along with live ammo at the range. Shoot and watch the front sight.

There are also targets that tell you what you're doing wrong.

OP... Maybe you have a mental block.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Is his psychology preventing him from shooting the gun accurately?

I'll give it another few trips out and if it doesn't get better i'll probably sell or trade it.

someone suggested other brands, I have most popular guns and i shoot them all very well My sig and XD the best... probably followed by my 1911.

i was just curious if people have simply given a platform the honest try and just not been able to make it work?... im assuming some people just hate the feel of a 1911 and/or can't make it work for them.... I think it may be that way for the glock with me.
JOe

I personally gave Glocks more than an honest try-[owned and shot them competitively IDPA & won a match with a Glock 17], it's without a doubt a great platform. However, I shoot other platforms better than Glock. That means, less effort for the same or better results.

Over the years of shooting/training/competing/deployed I've learned a few things. 1)Brand loyalty not only limits your choices, but also your mindset as far as training, and options-one's approach should always eclectic 2) When you have the ability to 'cheat' in a tactical or competitive scenario, you should take it. Cheat=have more firepower/better tactics/better equipment or a firearm that allows you to maximize your skill set to the n-th degree. It's better to use what works than the latest and greatest or the popular brand. 3) Train like you would fight 4) Repeat 3 5) Repeat 3

I found several other platforms that allowed me to focus on tactics rather than shooting. After that, the Glocks were soon traded or sold-otherwise they would have been safe queens. Good luck with your choice and happy shooting.

trigger... and those wide combat sights suck.

THat's why there are many choices out there. I can't play tennis well with more than 50% of the rackets available for sale. I don't like more than 50% of the cars currently being sold. I am not comfortable on more than 50% of the chairs/sofas I've tried.

I like more than 50% of the guns, though but there is bound to be one that I don't like. For you, it seems to be the Glock. Shoot what fits you, because changing yourself to fit the gun is much more difficult.

iono out of all my handguns (ppk, j-frame, xd9, browning 9mm, rentals) I shoot my glock the best. shrugs

[5hundo]

Have anyone else just not been able to shoot a brand of weapon? I mean you want it to happen but it just doesn't?

JOe

Yeah, I have had the same problems with the Sprinfield XD. I was actually really upset about that too, because I had my heart set on getting one. I went to an indoor range and tried one out and realized that I can't shoot worth a damn with it, so I looked for something a little better suited for me...

I ended up getting a Glock 22C simply because I can shoot it better than I did anything else. I'm not one of the people who loudly proclaim "Glock is the best pistol on earth!", or anything. Its just that I can operate that weapon best of all that I have tried...

I like Glock, I like Sig Sauer, I like Springfield but I shoot best with my Glock, so that's what I got...
